Chris Kitching: A full list of Freeview services is available here:
Digital UK Industry - Channel listings
Community on LCN63 is carried on COM7 multiplex which is the quasi-national one that also carries HD services. Unfortunately it isn't broadcast from Carmel and isn't likely to be. If you can receive it from another transmitter then you will need a Freeview HD (DVB-T2) receiver, even for standard definition services carried on that multiplex.

Hi
Is there any problem with channel 37 Quest as all I see is message ' no programme' when the guide
displays a normal programme

chris kitching: Quest (37) is transmitted on the same Multiplex (COM4) as ITV3, if you can receive the latter but not Quest you should try carrying out a "manual" tune on Carmels C54 (COM4) to refresh the content of the guide, as the programme has possibly dropped out due to a tuner glitch.

I have no signal on my TV neither do any of my neighbors.
What is the problem and when can we expect a service to resume.
It would have been better if I could have phoned you

I live in South Wales, Llanelli near Swansea.
Why is the Carmel (Carmarthenshire) mast not one of the extended Freeview HD transmitters ?It seems rather sad I am unable to receive more HD channels, which most of the rest of the UK can receive.
Are there plans to improve this situation?
Thanks
